My mother gave me a pair of diamond earrings when I was 13. It symbolised becoming a teenager. I also remember getting a collection of costume jewellery from my grandmother when I was in high school.

I am rough around the edges, and I am not a polished girl.

My style has always been very free, easy, relaxed, and slightly androgynous.

I think we are living in a world that is too perfect and things are too retouched. I want to scream at the top of my lungs 'our imperfections are what make us special'

I think a lot of people know me for just wearing cut-off denim shorts, an oversized white T-shirt with a pair of high-heels. I usually do wear basic stuff. Jeans and a white T is my go-to look.

Each piece of jewellery tells a story of my life. Picking one particular piece as a favorite would be like taking a chapter out of a book.

I've always been a girl with a massive opinion.

When I find something at a flea market or an antique store, it feels more special and I'm more inclined to want to wear it.

I'm always "shopping," because I think it's important to know what's out there.

I really believe in keeping your canvas very basic and sort of adding the accouterments from there. I look at creating intrigue with outfits through accessories.

My hair is wild and free, but I've always been told that [straight hair] is more polished, and a more polished version of yourself is a better version of yourself. That it's more professional.

They say faith is taking the first step when you can’t see the whole staircase. Actually, wisdom is seeing the elevator behind it that would have taken you to the top floor.

It was a love that was not a contract but an affection of the soul.

I absolutely relate to being alone in squalor, trying to come up with something adequate. I relate to that, and I've been known to crawl out of bed and drink out of a 2-liter bottle of Diet Coke.

There are only two types of motorists: the idiots who drive slower than me, and the lunatics who go faster.

My mother told me I was begging her to be an actor when I was four. My father and my grandfather saw at least one or two movies a week; they were film buffs, so I guess it just rubbed off on me.

My dream was to be either a volleyball player or a veterinarian.

Understand who you are and who you want to be, and thereby learn how you may best relate to others.

But neither of us knows, because a fight's worth nothing if you know from the start that you're going to win it.

At this moment in history, we are called to act as if we truly believe that liberty and justice for all is a desirable thing.

I grow daily to honour facts more and more, and theory less and less. A fact, it seems to me, is a great thing; a sentence printed, if not by God, then at least by the Devil.
